[news.eclipse.tools] Re: [M5] how to get from editor to navigator?

[Tom Mutdosch <mutdosch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yup.  Eclipse took out the automatic linking of the editor to the 
package editor and replaced it with the "Show in..." functionality.  I 
find this annoying, since I used the auto-link feature heavily, and now 
you have to hit a series of keystrokes each time you want to synch up 
the view with the editor.

They did have reasons for removing that function, but there has been a 
bit of hue-and-cry from some users to try to get it back in.  Here's the 
eclipse bug to follow if you're interested in this:
